If a person is suffering from diabetes and relies on pills rather than injections, and his health is in good condition, which is better for him: fasting Ramadan or breaking the fast?

The questioner : If a person is suffering from diabetes and relies on pills rather than injections, and his health is in good condition, which is better for him: to fast or to break the fast? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : This is according to the rule we mentioned: Does fasting become difficult for him? Does fasting harm him? If fasting becomes difficult for him, then fasting is disliked for him; and if it harms him, then fasting is forbidden for him. So if the doctors say: "If you stop eating the pills at the prescribed times, the diabetes may lead to your death," then it is obligatory for him to break the fast, and praise be to Allah. In fact, breaking the fast in a state where fasting causes harm is the default ruling, not a dispensement. Yes.
